For safety reasons, boats should have redundant systems, a back up if something fails. It's not like you can call AAA and get help in 5 min when...
Lol, keep thinking that. I like I said, I have scars from it. Also, it's small town area. Half the people around here didnt have camera phones at...
If the computer works they may cut power, but if the computer messes up and goes wide open throttle, who says that part will still work? One bad...
It was when they first came out, happened on I35W just south of burleson about 7pm. It was all over the local news one day, then gone the next. I...
Fly by wire is used on many new boats, I seem to recall a thread about a boat getting sunk and damaging a dock because of a faulty controller....
I'm not denying that there are way too many issues in most production vehicles. When I mentioned fly by wire, I was thinking of issues I...
It may be proven that it can work, but working safely is another matter. It's getting better, but not there yet. The main thing is all vehicles...
Wasn't it a Prius that went full throttle on a California highway and murdered a cop and his family? Granted, anyone with an IQ could have stopped...
True, but that idea isn't stupid, thus our government would ignore it. Maybe in Sweden politician have IQ's, but not in the US.
I think e85 will be something that people and cars adapt to. It may take a while to get everything caught up, but when everything is right, we...
I've seen it in aviation engines as well. It's a good way to tell how much work an engine does.
Plus, there are related improvements. E85 burns cool, so a lighter cooling system can be used, lower volume water pumps or under drive pulleys can...
But that data is flex fuel data. They aren't built for e85. I haven't seen data on engines with enough compression to run e85. I know drag racers...
That's correct, the 45 is a yota. I also have a patrol, 67 I believe, that my grandfather bought new. He would buy anything unusual, and no one...
K1W1, your lucky. I've been trying to get one of the 4.2's for an fj45 build for a while. It could also do well in my old patrol. I love those...
10% ethanol does not equal 10% less mileage if an engine is designed to run on it. And the other issues with the change happened when we went from...
I would be asking their customers for comments. The best paint isn't any good if the prep and application aren't good. Also, just because someone...
I know. I can't imagine trying to paint something that big. Even if they had a paintbooth big enough, the amount of airflow to keep humidity and...
I tend to disagree with the simple paints part. Mose people don't know/care how to use them right. If you watch the hot rod and chopper shows on...
Lol, perfect.
